Need help doing timing belt... (brisbane)

Ok so I want to change the timing belt on my EJ20. Normally I'll have a go at anything that needs to be done to my car but I just really don't know where to start with this, ie. went to repco today and there were 2 different belts for the EJ20 and I don't know which one to get without pulling off the covers.

So I was wondering if any of the brisbane (or surrounds) guys felt like lending me a hand one weekend soon to do it? There's a carton of your choice in it for anyone that wants to help.

Cheers,
Tom.

There is two different belts, one to suit the twin cam and one the quad cam. How soon do you want to do it? Maybe we could organize a club tools on day and do it then.

Take off one side of the end cam covers and see if you have round tooth belt or a square toothed belt that will be the only difference in the single cam engines.

Organising a club day like that sounds like a great idea Brett. I don't think it's urgent it's just something I've been meaning to do for a while now.
When I asked at repco there were 2 different lenth belts so I'm guessing the SOHC (mine) will be the shorter one?
And thanks Dave I'll check the teeth too.
